Korea Smash Weekend of 5/11/2019 Tournament Results

For the first time ever, we had a three tournament weekend in Korea! At Seoul Smash #4 we saw the return of Korea's #1 Smash 4 player, Tanark. With his return and with most of the best Korean players in attendance, this might have been Korea's most difficult tournament of all time. Meanwhile, at the Bulgogi Smash House Quarterly tournament, the best players in the U.S. military competed in one of the biggest Smash tournaments to ever happen in Korea. Finally, on Sunday, Daegu hosted its first Smash tournament for Smashers that live in the South of Korea! Check out all the action and results here.

Bulgogi Smash House 2nd Quarter

Date: 2019/05/11

Location: Osan Airbase (K-55) (Pyeongtaek-si, Songtan). Mustang Center Multipurpose room
Entry fee: Free
Note: This tournament took place on a U.S. Airforce base in Korea, so a majority of entrants are players in the U.S. military. These tournaments are open to everyone though. While there is a ton of casual players that we will likely never see at another tournament, I decided to include the results because most of the top 10 or so players regularly attend other tournaments.

I am Benjamin "JJROCKETS" Rowe, a Smash Ultimate Diddy Kong main from Chicago, IL. Currently I live in Daejeon, Korea where I work as an elementary school English teacher. In Brawl and Smash 4, I was known as one of the top Diddy Kong players, and I am looking to continue this success in Ultimate. On my website I will be posting about my travels in Asia, my Smash Ultimate tournament experiences, guides on how to improve at Smash, and random thoughts about life. Besides blog style posts, I also have my tournament schedule with my upcoming events listed, and a compilation of my tournament results in Ultimate.
